ABOUT ALESSANDRA (ALE) 

 

Multi awarded Italian Production Designer and Art Director based in Los Angeles.

 

For 10 years in Italy, I worked as an Art Director and marketing professional, collaborating with prestigious brands. My work included photo shoots, artistic installations, exhibition design, video production, and advertising campaigns. I contributed every year to Milan Design Week and managed projects from concept and budgeting to production and creative direction.

In 2016, I moved to Los Angeles and focused fully on the film industry. In the last ten years, I have worked on more than 60 projects as a Production Designer and Art Director, including feature films, short films, TV series, music videos, and vertical mini-series. I have also expanded into co-producing feature films, continuing to grow within the industry that remains my greatest passion.
